Interview: Simon Ungless – Executive Director for the School of Fashion, Academy of Arts in San Francisco Simon Ungless: You are going to see a really edited group of graduate designers. They are not interested so much in decoration – more in cutting, construction, proportion and silhouette. They are very craft-related in terms of really beautiful construction. They do everything themselves. They are all very sustainably driven, but not in a recycled or organic way, they’re talking about zero waste cutting. So there’s a girl who did the degree completely online, all zero-waste cutting. I don’t know if everyone will relate on the runway, because they’re not going to do a performance for a change – but the make is incredible. We’ve eliminated nearly everything. The styling has gone, it’s just clean, pure clothes. “
